Overview

Narrative review uncovers dynamic interactions between inflammation and tissue remodeling in fibrotic interstitial lung diseases, highlighting targets for personalized therapy.

Key Points

To examine the dynamic mechanistic interplay between inflammation and tissue fibrosis in fibrotic interstitial lung diseases and explore how these interactions affect therapeutic strategies.
Synthesized translational research and findings from experimental models evaluating fibrotic interstitial lung diseases and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Analyzed the bidirectional interactions and shared signaling cascades between cellular inflammatory pathways and fibrotic remodeling.
Inflammation acts as both an inciting driver and a secondary consequence of pulmonary fibrosis, establishing self-amplifying feed-forward loops across diverse disease phenotypes.
Fibrotic and inflammatory molecular signaling pathways show substantial cross-talk that varies considerably depending on the underlying disease etiology.
Tailoring clinical interventions according to the predominant inflammatory or fibrotic phenotype offers a pathway toward improved patient stratification and therapeutic outcomes.
